This guy must have really ticked some folks off. His was lined out.

And there's some red writing on the larger stamp, looks to be an overprint.

Sure.

Why the strike out or overprint across the individual? Some sort of political overthrow or change in government would be my guess.

Would anyone happen to know what the red overprint might say?

King Faroukh's image on a range of Egyptian stamps was overprinted after he was overthrown in 1952 following the Free Officers' revolution.

My geography teacher used to say that collecting stamps should teach you history, geography and languages all in one. There's huge amounts of stuff in the catalogues but trying to get a little more information on the "back-story" of an issue of stamps is half the fun, especially if you have an inquisitive mind. This forum is pretty handy too...
